It took me a few minutes after reading Erin Appletoft’s letter in the 9/21 issue to choke back my outrage enough to even think, let alone write.I realize that with the upcoming elections, gay marriage and homosexuality in general have become political issues.However, is it anyone’s business who someone kisses, falls in love with, or chooses to spend their life with? Is it the government’s, the heterosexual population’s, or the Christian’s?Secondly, I disagree with a faith that feels the need to judge, look down upon, and condemn other humans for making personal decisions. Yet, is it not these righteous ones that live their life from a handbook that brimmeth over with sin, deceit, and smut?So you’re offended by a poster; don’t look at it! More often than not, a piece of art is more about an underlying idea than the actual imagery present to the close-minded viewer. Sometimes, it takes offensive or disturbing imagery to express a statement. Let us not forget that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but so are disgust and repulsion.The most ironic part of the letter stated that, “God still loves those people who choose to live as homosexuals.”So, it’s wrong, but God still loves them? Wow, He’s about as generous as Santa Claus!So, He loves lesbians. Newsflash; I’d wager that about 95% of the male population does.
